Well Timed Rebnke.

Lamoure Progress: The Letcher
Blade calls the Woonsocket Times to
account for expressing willingness
to accept either of certain gentlemen
named as candidates for delegate in
congress whose Affiliations and posi-
tion on division are questionable, if
not hostile. The rebuke is well-tined.
Nothing can be more discouraging to
the earnest worker for division than to
see disposition manifested in influen-
tial quarters to put in peril all that
has been accomplished for the cause,
for no other apparent purpose than to
pave the way to pleasant personal re-
lations with aspirants for place of
doubtful reliability. For what have
the advocates of division been laboring,
spending their time and money, and
seeking to rally the people in support
of the measure, if everything is to be
sacrificed at last in the choice of a
delegate? Let US at least be wise
enough not to cut our own throats.

Making Button. Out of Blood.

The country is learning to utilize waste.
Making buttons of blood is in this direc-
tion. There is a large factory in Bridge
port, near Chicago, employing about 100
men, boys and girls, in which waste ami
NAL blood Is converted into buttons. The
same firm has another large factory else
where. A man named Hirsch was. the
first to introduce the business in this
country some years ago. He lost SIG, 900
the first six months, but stuck to it, and
now he is immensely wealthy: There are
a number of similar factories in England.
From 5000 to 10000 gallons of blood are
used in the Bridgeport factory every day.
Nothing but fresh beef blood is used.
Considerable of the blood evaporates
during the process of drying, but what
remains is pure albumen. Some of it is
light in color and some dark, according to
the chemical treatment given it, These
thin sheets of dried blood are then broken
up, and are ready to be worked into vari-
Gus shapes and sizes. Large quantities of
the blood sheets are used by cloth manu-
facturers for setting the color in calico
goods. Not only are buttons made from
blood in this way, but tons of earrings,
breastpins, belt clasps, combs and trinkets
are made annually there from blood. 1t
is u queer, odorifcrous business but q
paying one.-Philadelphi Bulletin.

In Place of Pierce.

Bismarck Tribune, 9th: Governor
Pierce has been succeeded by Prof.
Homer B. Sprague as president OF the
Grand Forks university. we say sue
succeeded, as the governors name was
associated IN the public mind so long
as the probable president that it seems
like a succession in fact as we'll as
we'll as fancy. Professor Sprague has
accepted the office and we want to
congratulate not only the university
but the whole territory and the educa-
tional interests of the northwest upon
his coming to Dakota. 1t is like the
introduction of Professor North
rup into the presidency of the state
university of Minnesota. 1t means
success. Almost twenty years ago he
was one of the great faculty that An
drew d. White called around him
when Cornell university was opened.
He filled the chair Of rhetoric and
English literature. Since his retire
ment from Cornell he has been the
head of the best school in Brooklyn,
president of Mills university, Califor-
MIA, and master of Girls High School
in Boston. lie is all educator among
educators. lie is also an orator-al-
ways a fascinating gift to Dakota
people.

Ring Rule at Bismarck /.

Dakota Settler: 1t seems that just
as we predicted Burleigh county has
been made the victim of the rings de-
termination to prevent a vote on the
division question. On the day
on which the commissioners
were to appoint precincts and
judges. Commissioner Edgerly being
promptly on hand at the hour and
the other commissioners coming
from the country and being
late, Mr.. Edgerly adjourns the
meeting "sine die" before the others
arrival. The idea seems to be that as
it would take five days to call special
meeting, it would be too late for the
commissioners to act. The fact is.
however, that it lies with the county
auditor to call the election and rot
with the commissioners, their duty be-
ing only to fix precincts and appoint
judges. The auditors duty is still in
cumbent on him and the appointment
of precincts can, so far as we can see.

the hearts of the people of Charles
Mix county. A squad of them pitched
their camp last week near Duval's, and
were reinforced by fresh crew this
week and are at work among the hills
near Wheeler. 1t will doubtless be de-
termined in a few days which is the
easiest way to grade in to Wheeler. 1t
is reported that they have grade stakes
with them and when they select the
most feasible route to the protective
point. it is hoped they will drive the
final grade stakes. The engineers are
rather reticent as to future movements,
but indications tendto make us believe
that the company mean immediate op.
erations on this end of the proposed
line. The postmaster at Wheeler deals
out bushels of mail to the engineers:

Simple Method of Fumigation.

In case of premises OF apartments where
there is diphtheria, the most convenient
method of fumigation is to drop a small
pinch of sulphur upon a hot stove, if there
is one in the room; if there be no stove in
the room, few Goals on shovel or other
convenient utensil may be carried into the
room, and the sulphur dropped on the
coals-a little experience soon enabling
any one to determine how much sulphur
to burn in each room, It is not neces-
sary to fill the room SO full of these sui
phur fumes as to cause suffocation, and,
il In any case little too much sulphur is
used, causing offensive fumes, the doors
and windows can be opened for minute
or two. Other disinfectants may of course
be employed, but these sulphur fumes are
found to permeate every crevice in the
house-the fact being that it is the most
practical and effectual method of disinf.c-
fion against the spread of tine disease that
can be adopted; is useful, indeed, in the
house infected and in all neighboring
houses. American Medical Journal.

An Act Of Supreme Folly.

Yankton Press, g.: The three Yank-
ton trustees of the insane hospital re-
ceived notice this morning that the in
vestigation made by Public Examiner
Harris ten days ago is extended until
November 2, and that the governors
attempt at suspension is extended for
the same period. When the "a Of
November arrives it is probable that
another extension of the examination
will be promulgated. This tritling can
warded to the auditor for accounts
for maintenance are being returned,
accompanied by information that the
auditor refuses to pay for the mainte-
nance of the insane at the hospital.
Auditor Ward is committing an act of
supreme folly and will be liable under
his bond for his foolishness.

Tie jamestown Asylum.

Rockford New Era: If it is true
that DR.. Archibald is to head a second
investigation of the Yankton insane
asylum, as some of the newspapers
state, the unusual public confidence
reposed in him as an official will be apt
to be seriously disturbed. In the pres
ent critical state of the public mind it
will hardly do for the north Dakota
asylum to pose as the cynosure of all
that is lovely. and pass Judgment on q
sister institution. 1t is our private
and unofficial opinion that the COM
paratlve chastity of the two institu-
tions is at a balance. 1t is rumored
that profit of So 900 is paid two con-
tractors, who are local politicians of
Jamestown, for the foundation walls
of two small buildings.

Some Look at 1t Thus.

Yankton Telegraph: In Florida a
man gets dinner for vote,
provided he votes for local op-
tion. In the great barbecue campaign
of 1910, when Harrison was elected
president, men did the same thing.
The smoking meats prepared for the
occasion awaited the devouring appe-
tites of all voters who could show that
they had voted for "Typpecanoe and
Tyler too." In later years the same
class of patriots have been caught by a
glass of beer, presumably because the
beer is cheaper. And now it is pro-
posed to reach the same class by sand
witches and coffee, and all in the
interest of reform. But man whose
vote is influenced by any such means
should be deprived Of the right to vote

After Mr.. Boynto,,.

Woonsocket News: The territory
pays Mr.. Boynton $4,000 per year for
his services and he is allowed his trav-
cling expenses besides. There is no
excuse for his deadheading his way
about the country and it is in direct
violation of law. Will Mr.. Boynton
please explain his action? If he pro-
poses to travel on the railroads with
out paying fare and charge it up to the
territory, the act looks to us like a
fraud and his best course is to resign
at once. The News proposes to find
out if he is charging the territory with
his travelling expenses. We shall see
what Auditor Ward has to say on the
subject.

Ambitious But Lame,

Press 4 Dakotaian: Huron is early
in the field with claim to the terrific
rial fair of 1888 upon the ground of su-
perior accessibility. Mitchell. which
has just demonstrated its own accessi-
bility, will contest this claim and
other Dakota cities will join in the
free to all contest for recognition.
Yankton proposes next year to put in
a vigorous bid for this fair. Three
railroads now center here from the
northwest, northeast and east and by
the time another fair is due it will
have two additional railroad lines.
Yankton wants the next territorial
fair and will reach for it.
